It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

"Warrior, are you ready? What's the principle behind this?" The newbie Li Xianyu was completely baffled.

He chops someone on the head with a knife, then curses: "You bastard, hopeless, goodbye."

Is this how you use the "Three No's Pure Heart" technique? The words spoken are like a sudden awakening?

Even more bizarrely, Thunder War Maiden actually regained consciousness. The confusion in her eyes disappeared, her gaze returned to clarity, and she was no longer affected by the illusion array.

The four of them consciously kept a certain distance from Long Aotian, with Long Aotian walking in front and them following behind. Whenever Long Aotian turned around, they would all fall silent and smile at him.

"A childlike heart, breaking free from illusion, seeing through illusion—that's a power of the soul. It's similar to the Buddhist 'sudden awakening' or the Taoist 'purification mantra.' As for the lines, I taught her to say them this way to better stimulate the War Maiden and make her face reality."

Li Xianyu: "It's alright to face reality."

Thunder Valkyrie: "..."

These two are toxic; if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she would definitely teach them a lesson.

Long Aotian seemed to find traveling alone too boring, so he slowed down and walked alongside the three of them, chatting about this and that. He said that he felt the three of them looked quite familiar and had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

How could we not be familiar with each other? We all work in the same company and see each other all the time.

The others were too lazy to explain, and Li Xianyu casually remarked that this must be what they call having the same ideals.

After nearly being sexually exploited by Qingqing, Li Xianyu developed a psychological aversion to "fellow practitioners" and would never use those four words lightly.

The Dragon Mansion is located in the south of Wuji City, a vast garden-style mansion. With its dense courtyards, numerous gates and households, and extremely lavish construction, it can be described as a city within a city.

"The map of the mortal realm shows seven countries. Wuji Imperial City is the core city of the Wuji Empire, and it also has five major powers, four great families, and the royal family. The Ye family, now known as the Long family, is one of the powers in Wuji City. The Long Mansion serves as their headquarters and is quite magnificent," the young assassin explained.

He spoke without any attempt to hide his voice from Long Aotian, and Li Xianyu worriedly said, "Keep your voice down, it's not good if he hears you."

The teenage assassin waved her hand: "It's alright, Long Aotian will automatically avoid topics related to the real world."

You really can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.

After a short while, they still hadn't reached Long Aotian's residence. Instead, they encountered many of Long Aotian's cousins ​​and sisters. The men were dressed in fine clothes and jade belts, while the women wore flowing skirts; all were handsome men and beautiful women who were pleasing to the eye.

In contrast, the upright and honest Long Aotian is simply a mudslide among the rich second generation.

Li Xianyu felt that the author should actually take the blame, because most online novel authors are down-on-their-luck, and poverty has solidified their thinking. When describing a character, they subconsciously refer to themselves and describe the protagonist as having ordinary clothes.

The author of "My Sister is a Big Star" is very talented; both the male and female protagonists are incredibly wealthy.

"Oh, isn't this our clan leader's silly son? The sun is shining so brightly today, why aren't you practicing your skills in the courtyard? Aren't you the famous martial arts fanatic of our Dragon Manor?" a young master said with a smile.

"He's faking it. He's already so useless, he has to pretend to be diligent and hardworking to gain sympathy," another young man said.

The young men made jokes and mockery, while the young ladies covered their mouths and chuckled softly, a scene of bustling activity.

Another person said, "They even brought their cronies into my Long Mansion. The two young ladies are quite pretty, but the two men are plain-looking and obviously uncouth."

Average appearance?

Are you talking about me? Are you serious?

Li Xianyu's only remaining advantage in life is his face; with that face, he's a seasoned pro at online dating with countless young women. The "heartthrob" is also a handsome template, with a pair of captivating, alluring eyes that can make women weak in the knees.

Faced with the difficulties posed by his cousins, Long Aotian remained calm and composed, standing with his hands behind his back. He said, word by word, "If someone in this world were to slander me, bully me, insult me, ridicule me, belittle me, despise me, hate me, or deceive me without cause, what should I do?"

He paused, then continued, "You might as well tolerate him, be humble towards him, let him be, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, and ignore him. In a few years, you'll see what becomes of him."

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, Long Aotian had already turned and left, leaving behind a proud and aloof figure.

Li Xianyu: "..."

That's right, Long Aotian is indeed a huge fan of light novels. Ten years ago, this was a must-use golden line by the protagonist in online novels.

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at a courtyard with two entrances and two exits. Passing through an arched gate, we were greeted by a very beautiful little garden.

A pebble path winds through the area, flanked by vibrant wildflowers and shady trees. In the center lies a clear pond and a pavilion, where a young woman in palace attire sits, her delicately painted eyebrows radiating an ethereal beauty.

"cousin!"

Hearing the noise, she looked in the direction of the sound, her pretty face blossoming into a bright smile. She took small steps to greet him and rushed into Long Aotian's arms.

Long Aotian smiled indulgently and took out a floral hairpin from his pocket: "Linglong, I specially bought this for you at the market."

"So beautiful!" the girl exclaimed.

"I'm glad Linglong likes it." Long Aotian smiled sincerely.

This was the first time Li Xianyu had seen Long Aotian smile like this. This world was illusory, yet infinitely close to reality. Here, you could experience things that were unattainable in reality, things that existed in everyone's fantasies, beautiful yet heartbreaking. Most people could only compromise with reality in the end. However, in this virtual world, you could fully embrace your own world.

Li Xianyu felt inexplicably sad.

This meager sympathy was not enough to change Li Xianyu's stance; in his eyes, Long Aotian was still a heretic.

This world belongs to both older sister-obsessed and younger sister-obsessed individuals, but in the end, it still belongs to older sister-obsessed individuals.

The girl happily accepted the hairpin, then shyly let Long Aotian put it on her head. She twirled gracefully, her skirt fluttering, and asked, "Cousin, does it look good?"

Long Aotian: "It's good."

The two of them then showered each other with affection in front of Li Xianyu before finally remembering a few people.

"Cousin, who are they?" The girl blinked her bright eyes, looking at Li Xianyu curiously.

"These are some friends I just met today," Long Aotian introduced them one by one.

"Greetings, Young Master Zhao." The young woman gave a slight curtsy, her dimples gleaming in the sunlight.

lovely!

I miss the sun!

But Li Xianyu's gaze lingered on the girl's face for only 0.01 seconds, then he looked up at the sky with a cool 45-degree angle and said, "Greetings, young lady."

One of the three laws of Long Aotian novels: If you want to live well, it's best to be gay.

His gaze couldn't linger on the female lead's face for more than three seconds, otherwise it would incur Long Aotian's displeasure.

You bullied my brother, I'll kill your whole family.

You who bully my woman, I'll cut off your manhood.

I can bully your brother, but you have to put up with it.

I can sleep with your woman, but you still have to put up with it.

This is the male protagonist of a light novel.

Li Xianyu, who was also obsessed with light novels in junior high school, is well aware of the self-cultivation of supporting characters in order to survive.

The girl killer was oblivious to this, staring at Long Aotian's cousin a few more times, completely unaware that Long Aotian's brows had furrowed several times.

"Miss Linglong is truly a beauty of heaven, and she and Brother Aotian are a perfect match, a match made in heaven." Li Xianyu quickly helped his teammate regain some goodwill.

The girl said shyly, "No way."

Long Aotian smiled gently, and his gaze toward Li Xianyu became more sincere.

Li Xianyu and the others settled down temporarily at the Long residence. Long Aotian, a martial arts fanatic, arranged accommodations for them and then devoted himself to rigorous training.

Li Xianyu, Thunder War Maiden, and Girl Killer sat inside discussing their next move, unanimously deciding to take it one step at a time and slowly look for opportunities.

Thunder War Maiden frowned: "I feel like I've forgotten something."

Li Xianyu was taken aback: "It's like taking your equipment on a picnic outdoors, and on the way back you always feel like you've forgotten something. Turns out I'm not the only one who feels this way."

The teenage assassin looked at the two of them and asked, "Have you forgotten something?"

Thunder War Maiden looked at the emotionless one: "Do you feel that way?"

Sanwu: "Absolutely none."

Thunder War Maiden: "Oh, that might just be my imagination."

Li Xianyu: "Let's continue our business."

......

In the distant brothel, Jin Gang squatted by the roadside, waiting and waiting, as the sun set. Li Xianyu and his companions still hadn't emerged. Several times he considered going in to look for them, but seeing the scantily clad women, he felt an instinctive aversion and dared not enter.

"It's so slow, when will it come out?" King Kong sighed softly.
